The French football league, Ligue 1, has seen some exciting and memorable moments this season. However, one match stood out above all others as it set a new record for the most wins in a single season. In late April, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Nice 5-2 at the Parc des Princes to secure their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title with a total of 36 victories. This achievement was nothing short of remarkable, considering that PSG had already won 34 matches before the final round of fixtures. The win also marked the first time since the inception of the current Ligue 1 format in 2019 that any team has achieved such a feat. Prior to this season, only two teams - Lyon and Monaco - had ever won more than 35 games in a calendar year. The key to PSG's success this season was their incredible attacking prowess. The team scored an average of 3.1 goals per game, which is well above the league average of 1.87. They were also able to keep their opponents at bay, conceding just 18 goals in 36 matches. One player who played a crucial role in PSG's success was Kylian Mbappé. The French forward scored 27 goals and provided six assists in the league this season, helping him claim the top scorer award. He also became the first player to score 100 goals in Ligue 1. Other standout performances included those of Neymar Jr., who scored 21 goals and provided four assists, and Lionel Messi, who provided five assists despite playing on the bench. Despite the impressive statistics, there were some challenges for PSG this season. They faced tough competition from rivals like Marseille and Bordeaux, who both finished in second place and qualified for the Champions League. However, PSG remained focused and determined throughout the season, never giving up until they secured their fifth successive Ligue 1 title. It was a testament to their hard work, dedication, and ability to overcome adversity. Overall, the win by PSG in the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season was a historic moment for the French football league. It showed that with the right players, tactics, and determination, any team can achieve greatness. And while PSG may have clinched another trophy, there is no doubt that they will be among the favorites once again next season. |
